After getting off the Mochiyasha, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka led Miharu Taki Sakura to the fountain plaza.
The palm-shaded pool area emitted green lighting, showcasing deep green trees and a clear blue sea, as if one were on an island floating in a tropical ocean.
In this area, a popular fountain show is presented every 15 minutes, and dancers invited by the Amusement Park also perform.
After taking Miharu Taki Sakura to watch the performance here, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka excused himself, claiming a stomach ache, leaving Miharu Taki Sakura alone to watch the show.
The enormous circular fountain and water screen created an extremely luxurious and dazzling fountain show, with lights scattered in the wavy pool, creating a dreamy and elegant glow.
Miharu Taki Sakura was intently watching the dancers' performance when suddenly, a girl's voice sounded in her ear.
"Miharu Taki-sama...?"
Someone actually recognized her, Miharu Taki Sakura turned her face in surprise and found a girl with pink hair; although her face was covered by a mask, Miharu Taki recognized her at a glance.
"You are... Yumemi Yumemite, right? What are you doing here?"
Yumemi Yumemite smiled excitedly: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet Miharu Taki-sama here!"
"You also know that I am in the entertainment industry, right? I have a few friends performing here today, and I came to support them."
Miharu Taki Sakura was wearing the uniform of Private Hyakkaou Academy, and Yumemi Yumemite saw it at a glance.
She desperately wanted to join the Student Council, and every member of the Student Council was an object of her flattery, with Miharu Taki Sakura naturally being the top priority.
She wore an obsequious smile and flattered: "Who did you come with? Is there anything I can help you with? I'm quite familiar with this place..."
"I came with a friend. He was feeling a bit unwell just now and isn't here temporarily," Miharu Taki Sakura said briefly, a slight frown on her brow.
A boy... Could it be Mibuomi Aoi?
Yumemi had, of course, long since found out that Miharu Taki Sakura was Mibuomi Aoi's fiancée, and she subconsciously assumed that Mibuomi Aoi had brought Miharu Taki.
"Is Aoi-sama on a date with you? The place you chose is really nice, it's very suitable for a date between a couple!"
She greatly praised the taste of the person who chose this Amusement Park. She originally thought her words would make Miharu Taki Sakura happy, but to her surprise, Miharu Taki Sakura's expression darkened.
Miharu Taki Sakura asked: "...I don't like to be disturbed. When will you leave?"
She didn't expect to meet a classmate here. If Yumemi Yumemite didn't leave, she would leave first. In short, she couldn't let her see her with Ayanokoji.
"I'm leaving right away!" Yumemi Yumemite was excellent at reading expressions, realizing she had apparently put her foot in her mouth with her flattery, and her heart tightened as she immediately said.
Actually, she had only just arrived and wanted to enjoy the evening fully before leaving, but now she could only leave first.
"In that case, I won't disturb your date. See you at school..." Yumemi smiled apologetically and left.
Although it was a bit regrettable, she comforted herself that she could come again next week.
But if Miharu Taki Sakura and Mibuomi Aoi saw her again while shopping, that would be a bit bad, and her impression in their eyes would be terrible.
After all, she wanted to join the Student Council and still relied on their attitude; she couldn't antagonize them now.
What's going on? Does she not like her date being disturbed?
It seems Miharu Taki Sakura is really reluctant to be seen touring the Amusement Park, even though she hasn't even changed out of her school uniform... Yumemi mused to herself.
Speaking of which, it turns out that the serious Beautification Committee Chairperson also has a childlike heart and would want to come to a place like an Amusement Park to play...
Yumemi Yumemite suddenly felt as if she had discovered a new continent, thinking about whether she should use some dolls or similar items to curry favor with Miharu Taki Sakura.
As she thought, she turned to the Yomiuri Land's Colorful Jewel Town.
This is a lively area with many amusement facilities, lavishly decorated with the colors of various jewels that have been exhibited to date, as if one were in a toy box.
There are several souvenir shops here, where you can buy merchandise for Yomiuri Land's mascots, "Good and Lucky," snacks, and merchandise for other mascots, with a rich variety.
There's also a shop here where you can buy Studio Ghibli merchandise, though she doesn't know if Miharu Taki likes animated movies...
Thinking these thoughts, Yumemi Yumemite was about to enter a souvenir shop when suddenly, she saw a familiar figure, also a classmate of hers.
...Did I see that right?
Yumemi Yumemite pulled back the foot she had stepped into the shop, quietly approached, and hid by the wall, peeking out curiously.
It was indeed Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
He was talking to a man in a suit, occasionally looking down at his watch and gesturing towards the sky.
A few minutes later, she saw a person in a work uniform walk out of a shop and hand a bank card to Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
After receiving the bank card, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka gave the other person a few more instructions, then walked towards Yumemi Yumemite.
She quickly hid, not being discovered by Ayanokoji.
Why is Ayanokoji Kiyotaka here? And why is he walking towards the fountain plaza?
Yumemi Yumemite's mind raced, and a bold guess formed in her mind—could the "friend" Miharu Taki Sakura came with be Ayanokoji!?
The thought startled her when it first appeared in her mind.
No way? Isn't Miharu Taki Sakura Mibuomi Aoi's fiancée? Isn't that something everyone knows?
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka wouldn't be that bold, would he?
What if it's just a coincidence?
Although Yumemi Yumemite thought this, she still subconsciously followed behind Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
She maintained a subtle distance while tracking Ayanokoji, and bought a pair of sunglasses and put on a baseball cap.
Yumemi Yumemite was quite skilled at disguises.
When she arrived at the fountain, Ayanokoji had already merged into the crowd. Yumemi Yumemite quietly pushed up her glasses and searched for Ayanokoji's trace.
Miharu Taki Sakura's school uniform was like a beacon in the night, and even under the dazzling lights, she quickly found her.
Standing beside Miharu Taki Sakura at this moment was not Mibuomi Aoi, but Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka is too bold!
Yumemi Yumemite almost gasped aloud.
Are they really on a date, or is Mibuomi Aoi just nearby and she hasn't seen him?
She was about to observe carefully when she saw Miharu Taki Sakura say something to Ayanokoji. Ayanokoji paused, then began to turn his head and scan the crowd. Yumemi Yumemite quickly lowered her head.
When Yumemi Yumemite felt safe, she cautiously peeked out. By then, Miharu Taki Sakura and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had already disappeared.
Reason told Yumemi Yumemite that it was best not to continue pursuing them, but after a fierce internal struggle, her curiosity still overcame her survival instinct, and she decided to go find the two.
Idol detective, seriously solving cases!
Yumemi Yumemite must find out what their relationship is!
